St. Paul, Sept. 22. Between 8 and 10
o'clock last night a narrow strip of conn
try twenty miles long was laid waste by
a hurricane, which in many places de
veloped into a cyclone. In its path to
day are ruined towns, devastated farms
and several hundred dead and injured
people. Starting about ten miles south
of Spencer in Northwestern Iowa, the
storm of wind at 8 o'clock began its work
of destruction.
Towns damaged or destroyed : Cylin
der, Forest City and Manley Junction,
. Ia. ; Leroy, Spring Valley, Dodge Cen
ter, Lowther and Homes, Minn., and
Harshfield, Wis.
Mason City, la., Sept. 22. The most
devastating and life-destroying storm of
wind, hail and rain known in years vis
ited this section last night about 10
o'clock. In its destructive path it
touched the south part of Lincoln town
ship and then it passed eastward to
Mandi Junction, in the south of Worth
county. In its way it swept valuable
property out of existence and killed at
least fifty persons. All telegraphic com
munication has been shut off by fallen
wires, bo that full details cannot be as
certained, but it is certain that the num
ber of .injured will run into the hun
dreds. The storm seems to have
i traveled from the southwest to the north
r east. It appeared that it gathered its
force south of Emmetsburg and then
crossed the Iowa and Minnesota divis
ions of the Milwaukee and St. Paul rail
road at Emmetsburg. It next headed
north of Wesley and then north of Graf
ton, then speeding straight north to Le
roy and Spring Valley. Osage also
. fearfully felt its terrific force, and many
are reported seriously hurt. The most
serious are :
William Perry, 27 years old, can live
but a few hours ; Joseph Finley, hurt
about the head and internally, may die;
Joseph Lonergan, flesh wounds; Benja
min Kestern, cut in the face ; Mrs. Ben
min Kestern ; Dennis Lonergan, artery
in the wrist severed and otherwise in
jured. Five bouses were completely demol
ished and swept from their foundations.
The residences of Louis Ponner, Patrick
Lonergan, jr., William Perry,' Phil Her
bert, Messrs. Nicholas and Colter and
Benjamin Kestern, and all the outbuild
ings, barns, grain in stack and some
were also destroyed. At Emmetsburg
the amphitheater at the fair grounds
was wrecked, also a residence. Several
are reported injured there. Four miles
north of Wesley great destruction was
wrought. At Cylinder the whole family
of Alexander Goldman, consisting of
himself, wife and two children, were
killed. About ten other persons were
injured. Dwellings were demolished
and a large number of outbuildings laid
low. Beports say there were nine
killed in the vicinity of Emmetsburg.
Three miles north of Wesley, J. Big
ham's house was overturned and set on
fire. The inmates had a narrow escape.
A telegram from Algona says 26 peo
ple are reported killed in Kossuth county,
while the destruction of property is very
great. The country swept is a farming
section, with great barns filled to the
rafters with hay. The packed condition
of the barns saved the stock. A willow
hedge running north and somth near the
Stepneck homestead was piled full of
household goods, bedding and milk cans
from Beaver's place, a mile west. The
Joe Thompson house was gutted and the
walls are in a swaying condition. His
barn went to pieces and five horses were
buried in it. It took until 3 o'clock
next morning to dig them out, "bat all
were recovered from the ruins without
injury. East of ' the river, in Plum
Creek township, the house of George
Holmin was carried 30 rods and dropped
with such force as to wreck it. In it
were Mr. Holmin, his wife and three
children. One child was killed outright
and the others injured. A man named
Dang man, a mile north of Holmin's,
was killed, and seven more were Killed
northeast of this place, including a man
and wife, names not known. :
The wife and children of Fred Pompe,
in Fenton township, were in a honse
which collapsed. They were covered
by falling walls and not one was hurt.
The barn was. blown away and five
horseVtied to the mangers were left on
the floor unhurt. George W. Beaver's
family, three miles north of Algona, bad
just returned from the fair. He got into
the house with his wife, two children
and an adopted boy and was going down
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
into the celler when the cyclone demol
ished the house. The family were cov
ered with ruins. Beaver, with a baby
in his arms, walked to Christian Dean's,
his father-in-law, for help. His wife
was just dying when he returned, and
his little girl gasped "Papa" and expired.
Myron Schink's immense barns and
house were made into kindling wood.
His wife and children were carried 100
feet and were found under a heavy oak
beam. Mrs. Schink was unconscious.
Horace Schink, Myron's father, was cov
ered up with lumber. He' is 73 years
old and his recovery is questionable.
The Swedish church 10 miles south-
Lwest of Spencer was blown to atoms.
The town of Loweter, five miles north of
El ma, is a mass of bent and broken tim
bers and splinters. The damage done to
the town and vicinity will exceed $100,
000. Owing to the situation of the
village and from the fact that telegraph
and telephone communication have been
shut off for the past 24 hours, it has
been impossible to confirm reports sent
from Oelwein, Ia., until this afternoon,
when a reporter visited the scene of dis
aster. The severe wind and rain struck
Oelwein about 6 p. m. yesterday, and
gradually grew worse until 1 o'clock this
morning, when those able to regain con
sciousness found themselves in corn
fields or on open prairies. The width of
the storm is estimated at half a mile,
and its course due east and west.
It is reported that the village of New
Haven, located eight miles west of Eima,
was entirely destroyed and several killed
and wounded, but as no one has arrived
from there, the report cannot be con
firmed. The Kenyon family, consisting
of nine persons, living 10 miles north of
Cresco, was killed last night, and the
residence converted into kindling wood.
The tornado passed over Cresco, demol
ishing the Hollister Lumber Company's
sheds, tore the end out of Norton's livery
stable unroofed half a dozen houses and
flattened more than half of the barns
and outhouses in the city. Trees 12 in
ches in diameter were snapped off like
pipestems on about every street in
Cresco. ' -
A. M. Bailey, a well-known citizen of
Eugene, Or., says his wife has for years
been troubled with chronic diarrhoea
and used many remedies with little relief
until she tried Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and diarrhoea Remedy, which
has cured her sound and well..- Give it
a trial and you will be surprised at the
prompt relief it affords. 25 and 50 cent
